Intro: A 
 
Verse 1: 
A  
Wake up in the morning long and lean 
A  
Stoppin' at the corner cigarettes and gasoline 
D 
Pullin' down Main Street shiftin' through gears 
A 
Rollin' up that highway they been working on for years 
E              E7 E 
One eye on the sunrise, one eye on the clock 
D7                                              A 
Come tomorrow morning I'm gonna make it back to Little Rock 
 
I searched through L.A. County the valleys and the stars 
Del Rio to the bayou all them honky-tonks and bars 
I felt you in Seattle driving through the rain 
Dan through New York City just a callin' out your name 
After all these years of searchin' I finally found my spot 
One way or another, Lord, I'm gonna make it down to Little Rock 
 
D   
All my life I tried to find 
  A 
A piece of this Earth for my peace of mind 
D 
All these years of searchin' let my troubles disappear 
E 
Maybe find a place where we can sit and drink a beer 
 
Half a pack and seven hours put up on the shelf 
Singing to the radio and talkin' to myself 
Screamin' through the forest magic on my soul 
Ninety miles an hour on the cruise control 
Blowin' by the truckers, the grandmas and the cops 
"What's your hurry son?" well it's just that I'm on my way to Little Rock 
 
Baby get ready trouble's on its way 
Only thinkin' 'bout you every night and every day 
Tell all your other lovers forget about the past 
Ain't even gonna worry 'cus this time it's gonna last 
I'm comin' round the corner, ain't even gonna knock 
Hey pretty baby, here comes your daddy down to Little Rock 
 
Outro: A        E     D     A 
 
Spoken over outro: 
(Yeah, Little Rock!  I'm goin' to Little Rock 
I may be the only one, but I'm goin' 
I ain't sleepin' on the couch.)
